The "developers!" video and "monkey dance" have probably been swatched by... well, pretty much everyone in the IT industry, but this one is even less known than Steve Ballmer's Windows 1.0 ad, which was authentic (no parody intended).
That second guy is Brian Valentine, who left Microsoft after the Trouble better known as "Vista".
They don't care about the users and issuing a few bytes with random characters costs them next to nothing. It gives them control over billions of human beings.
If even one media outlet told you in 2010 that Microsoft would fall from 100% (of Web requests) to about 1 in 8 Web requests, you'd probably struggle to believe it

I think it goes well with the above TV commercial as part of a Vista upgrade marketing campaign.
